The author demystifies the differences between various communities, bringing out the similarities cutting across most ethnic groups in the country, writes John Mbaria

"At a time when Kenya continues to suffer the fall out of post election violence early this year, a book that shows that different ethnic groups in Kenya are not fundamentally antagonistic and in fact share common historical interests , is a welcome literary event. Kenya Ethnic Communities: Foundation of The Nation succeeds in demystifying the differences between various communities and brings out the similarities cutting across most ethnic groups in the country.

The Kenya Ethnic Communities Book was reviewed by SUNDAY NATION on 31st August, 2008 in the page for ,BOOK NEWS, REVIEW AND CULTURE by Fredrick K. Iraki, a Professor at the United States International University (USIU) - Nairobi, Kenya.

Professor Frederick K. Iraki states that :

• The book is one stop shop for researchers on collective history of Kenyan Tribes.
• Mr Ng'anga has made a significant contribution in shining the light on our colllective history.
• His Opus would be useful in helping us forge a united nation.

Professor Vincent G. Simiyuin the foreword of the book which he has written has stated the following about the book.

"The Author has done a thorough job and his symphatic approach to the study of every ethnic group is worthy a lot of credit. it is a book that every library and institution of learning should have. it is an ethnic encyclopedia of Kenya. In all Mr Nganga has given the histories and cultures of forty four (44) ethnic communities of Kenya."

In the book in reference Wanguhu Nganga has written the following:

Reading is a pursuit open to everyone, rich and poor alike, and a source of infinite and unfailing pleasure. True, reading is but one form of what may best be termed "the cultivation of the spirit", but while the literature is not life, it is essential to complete living. A love of books is the sign of a cultivated man or woman as intellectual curiosity is the true test of education. A room without pictures has been likened to a house without windows. What, then, are we without books — are they not the window's of the spirit? A book-lined room is better than the most palatial interior.
